HIGH GAIN BATTLE! Mesa-Boogie Dual Rectifier 1994 Rev G vs 2024 MultiWatt!

[harddriver]

The Dual recto buys might appreciate this vid some guy on YT did.............NOT MY VID.

From his video info section:

SIGNAL CHAIN:For the recording of this video, were used the amps mentioned above a Boss Super Overdrive in front of the amp and through a Mesa-Boogie 4x12 Oversized Cab with V30 Speakers on it, recorded with 2 Shure SM57, one where the cone meets the cap and the other one on the most remote part of the cone. No post Eq was added on the recording.

Saw this the other day - good vid. Preferred the G here, but not sure if you could dial them in to sound closer to eachother

the G has the classic 90s recto sound and wins

 

[Tone Monster]

That G is super scooped sounding.

Were the knobs set the same on both I wonder. Sounds like they could easily be dialed closer to each other in regards to spectrum.
I have both though and can definitely say they feel a bit different from one another no matter how they are dialed. Anyone who has played both would surely notice.

Fizzy, loose and overscooped? Ya, I guess that is how I remember most (not all...and I like triples G's better for sure) of the Rev G Dual Recs I owned in the 90's and early 00's.

Also if that is indeed a 2024 MW then the stock power tubes are the 445(jj), and who knows what is in the 94 G. Probably not the stock 420, but hard to say what they've been replaced with.
